    Point of care lung ultrasound, known as BLUE protocol, can help evaluate patients presenting with undifferentiated breathing difficulties in the emergency department. The BLUE protocol involves scanning two points on the chest - the upper and lower BLUE points - at the posterior axillary line. Various ultrasound signs like A-lines, B-lines, and lung sliding can then be identified which provide information about conditions like pneumonia or pleural effusions. Lung ultrasound at the bedside thus provides a useful tool for emergency physicians to rapidly assess pulmonary issues.
